First Trailer for Sam Kadi's "The Citizen" Released

"A film's synopsis can peak interest or destroy it altogether. Director Sam Kadi's "The Citizen" does the former.

"The Citizen" looks to delve into the American dream, as it is tarnished with the harsh reality of violence against everything it stands for in the form of terrorism, fear, and cultural misunderstanding.
